A woman who recently travelled to Iran has been confirmed as the newest presumptive case of COVID-19 in Toronto, health officials confirmed.

Dr. Eileen de Villa, medical officer of health for Toronto, said that on the evening of Feb. 24 a woman in her 60s went to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre’s emergency department with a travel history to Iran.

“So with this in mind, we are actively working with our city partners, our provincial partners and other health partners to plan for the potential for local spread.”

Dr. David Williams, Ontario’s chief medical officer of health, was also at the news conference and re-iterated that the “risk to Ontarians is low and we’re still in the containment aspect.”

This is Toronto’s fourth case of the coronavirus and the fifth case in the province.

Four people in Ontario had previously been diagnosed with COVID-19, including a married couple in Toronto, a Western University student in London, Ont., and another Toronto woman after all of them had recently returned from travelling in China.

Proper isolation precautions were followed, and there is no risk to others who were in the Emergency Department on February 24. The hospital remains safe for patients, visitors and staff, and all clinics and procedures are running as normal.
